Three years after her last studio album Kim Wilde is back in 1995  with her ninth album Now & Forever. The album was released in Australia, Europe and Japan.

The style of the new album is more soul and dance. There were only two singles off the album. “Breakin´ Away” a dance-orientated track with house-beats and “This I Swear”, a pure ballad. But none of them did well in the charts. Even the album sold bad. Was that the beginning of the end?

Now & Forever is a collector´s friendly release with less different items. One interesting item is the Japanese limited edition, which comes in a slip-case and contains three mini-postcards.

Drei Jahre nach ihrem letzten Studioalbum meldet sich Kim Wilde mit Now & Forever zurück, das sowohl neue Qualitäten als auch eine neue musikalische Note bietet. Now & Forever ist das mittlerweile neunte Studioalbum und erscheint in Australien, Europa und Japan.

Während die Vorgägneralbum allesamt im Popbereich anzusiedeln sind, bewegt man sich jetzt klar im Soul- und Dancebereich. Kim Wilde über die Soul-Einflüsse auf Now & Forever: “Ich favorisiere Pop, habe es immer getan und werde es immer tun. Aber irgendwo tief in meinem Inneren empfinde ich eine große Leidenschaft für Soul”.

Aus dem Album werden insgesamt nur zwei Singles veröffentlicht. Aber weder mit “Breakin´ Away”, einer bläserverstärkten und mit House-Beats unterlegten Dancenummer noch mit “This I Swear”, einer traumhaften Ballade, schaffte man es hoch in die Charts. Das Album selbst verkaufte sich ebenfalls nicht gut - war das der Anfang vom Ende?

Für den Sammler gibt es Now & Forever in nur wenigen unterschiedlichen Pressungen. Sammelnswert ist die japanische Version mit Kartonbox und drei Mini-Postkarten.
